Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

New Arrival

Elephant's cut @ w 3.60 x h 2.98 - on the Cricut I would cut this @ 3 inches.

You can set the height at 2.98 in all 3 parts of the elephant and the height will be right.

Baby Rattles cut @ w 0.66 x h 1.22 -on the Cricut I would cut this @ 1.25

I cut 3 of these...cut the handle off of one and popped the rattle part on the complete rattle which I adhered directly to the card... on rattle I cut in black and trimmed down to the center of the rattle to make the black trim on the rattle.

Accent Essentials

Scalloped edges cut @ w 5. 0 x h 0.53 on read dial size - on the Cricut I would cut this @ 1 inch.. but am not sure at all what the length would be.

These I welded to the George Square.

George

Square cut @ w 5.0 x h 3.25 on real dial size - if using the Cricut I would cut this with my paper trimmer.

Opposites Attract

"Baby" cut @ h 1.39 the width will be right on all the letters if you set just the height -on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 1/2 inches.

I welded these letter together.

Street Signs

"BAMA" cut @ h 1.43 the width will be right on all the letters if you set the height - on the Cricut I would cut these letters at 1 1/2 inches.

I welded these letter together.These are the cuts on my mat I moved the rattle by the Bama's down next to Baby because I decided to cut this cut in black... all images in red are welded.

It's Been Forever

Designed by Jeannie Phillips - Southside, AL

I have been looking at this cut (the swirly thing on the bottom of the shelf) thinking that this would be a beautiful shelf!!... so I flipped it and welded a rectangle to it... and made myself a shelf... but I couldn't thing what in the world I wanted to put on this shelf.... and while I was going through my cuts I came across this beautiful corner... that I have never been able to incorporate into any of my card before and this idea just came to me... it so reminded me of an old house with the phone in the hall on a shelf... with a chair sitting by it... so so sad that I am old enough to remember seeing such as this!!! lol... and this is the card I ended up with... I was quite tickled with the end result...and it was such an easy card... what an extra!!.. hope everyone is having such a wonderful day! ... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Stamping

Swirls for bottom of shelf cut @ w 3.65 x h 1.29 - on the Cricut I would cut this at 1 1/4 inches.

George

Rectangle for top of shelf is a square cut @ w 3.75 x h 0.30 on real dial size I cut this 3 times one of the rectangles is welded to the swirls to make the shelf and popped the the second from the shelf and the third one from the second- if I was using the Cricut I would cut this with a paper trimmer at w 3 3/4 x h 1/4 of an inch.

Sweethearts

Corner Filigree cut @w 2.82 x h 2.71 - on the Cricut I would cut this @ 2 3/4 inches.

From My Kitchen

Phone cut @ w 2.70 x h 1.79 I cut this twice so I could pop the top phone..from the top phone I cut the handset and the cord and used on the inside of the card - on the Cricut I would cut the phone @ 1 3/4 or 2 inches.

I also cut the layer feature of the phone to get the center tan oval of the phone.

The easiest way to get this the right size is to click on the phone and then pick your layer feature then they will be the right size. This is my mat before I cut... I moved the images that were to be black close together before I cut... the images in red are welded together.

Vase of Joy

Designed by Jeannie Phillips - Southside, AL

Click on any picture to enlarge.

I was going through my cartridges on my Gypsy and found this JOY with a flower on it.... and just loved the joy...but didn't want the flower so I decided to weld the vase to the joy over the top of the flower... and then the rest of the card just evolved from that... the Shadow Joy and Vase is cut in a green/snowflake print... the Joy and Vase without the shadow cut in red and then just the vase is cut in beige...in the red cut the circle of the flower still cuts out.... it just didn't weld right there...but it was going to be covered by the beige vase so it didn't matter... welding is shown in the screen shot at the bottom of the page... all red items are welded.... thank you so much for looking... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Gypsy Wanderings

Joy cut @ w 3.51 x h 3.37 - On the Cricut I would cut his at 3 1/2 inches.

Poinsettias cut @ w 1.81 x h 1.85 - on the Cricut I would cut these at 1 3/4 inches.

Stretch Your Imagination

Flourish in Square cut @ w 1.71 x h 1.64 I used the square on the inside of the card with a red square behind it and the flourish in the vase - on the Cricut I would cut this @ 1. 3/4 inches.

Storybook

Flourish cut @ w 2.75 x h 0.59 - on the Cricut I would cut this at 3/4 inch because I stretched it on my Gypsy.

Flourish (second florish on second row on mat shot) cut @ w 1.93 x h 1.86 - on the Cricut I would cut this @ 3/4 inch.

*I guess at the Cricut sizes based on the height sizes of my Gypsy cuts... these are the sizes I would have tired first when not using my Gypsy.

I wanted to make a card today...and had no starting place at all!!!... so I decided to use a pick a design that I felt I would probably never use and see what I could come up with... that is how this card evolved... the emblem in the black circle is what I started with... and then I just went from there... I wish that I had embossed the white piece with the Swiss dots folder but thought of that only after it was too late to do it... silly me!! I hope you like my odd little thank you card.

George

Circles cut @ w 2.26 x h 2.11 - on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 1/4 inches.

Rectangle under the thanks cut @ w 4.99 x h o.88 - using the Cricut I would cut this piece on a paper trimmer.

Rectangle with the scalloped edge cut @ w 3.0 x h 5.0 - using the Cricut I would cut this piece on a paper trimmer.

Home Accents (again)

Advanced Card

Winter Woodland Cartridge

I started with the finished simple card from Monday’s card.

Then I cut a second tree @ 5 ½ inches... and 4 more snow layers at 5 ½ inches.

I cut 3 more birds ...on the flipped feature.

I cut several more snowflakes...of each kind.

I cut the snowman @ 2 3/4 inches... 2 times in white and 2 times in red on the shift feature and once in yellow on the layer feature and once in yellow on the shift-layer feature.

I trimmed three branches from my new tree...added the snow to different branches than before and bent out the limbs... popped this tree from the fist tree with pop-dots.

I then inked the ground snow layers and glued two ground snow layers together as wide as the blue background paper... I did this twice.

I attached the first new layer of snow to the popped tree base..then I added the white showman inked in blue ink to the snow base with glue and popped the top part of the snowman from the background paper.

I then popped the last layer of ground snow with pop-dots.

I assembled the second snowman... adding his inked scarf and buttons directly to him...along with one of the red hats... I used a sharpie for his eyes...and pink chalk applied with a make-up q-tip to his cheeks..then I added a dot of white gel ink to each cheek.

I added the yellow strip to the second hat...inking both the strip of yellow and the hat in brown..I popped this hat up from the first hat with pop-dots... then I glued the snowman bottom to the top snow layer and pop-dotted the top of the snowman to the snowman below.

I added the extra birds..glueing them to the popped layers only at their feet.

I used leftover branch snow on the inside of the card for the pile of snow the inside bird is laying on...and added a snowflake.

All snow parts are inked in blue ink...all other parts are inked in brown.

GIFT TAGS

For my gift tags I wanted to try my new Cricut Cuttables to emboss my tags.... I was so excited when this worked out just the way I wanted it to!

1. I cut the Snowman (page 47) of the Winter Woodland cartridge...I cut him on blackout into the Cricut Cuttables sheet.

2. I cut out my tag (page 33) form the Winter Woodland cartridge once in white @ 3 inches on real dial size and once in red @ 3 1/4 inches on real dial size.

3. I cut snowman layers on the shift feature in green and on the layer feature in red all on 2 inches.

4. I embossed the white tag with the snowman Cricut Cuttables embossing folder.

5. I added the scarf, hat and heart to the snow man. I then inked the tags with brwon ink around the edges and assambled the tag and added the ribbon.
